This discussion is based on your reading of Chapter 3 of your text, Inclusion and Multidisciplinary Collaboration in Early Childhood and Elementary Years. In this chapter, you learned about evidence-based inclusive schools, and about the importance of diversity, acceptance and belonging. These are buzz words today.
1.- In schools today, how would the discussion (and handling) of “diversity, acceptance and belonging” be different than in schools in the year 1970?
2.- If you were a parent in 1970, what challenges might you face addressing an issue of “diversity, acceptance and belonging” with the school administrators that impacted your child’s schooling?

Aiva Lee and Kaire BelliniRead Health Insurance and Children with Disabilities. (click the link for PDF Full text, please; do not read only the Abstract). Evaluate this article in terms of the proposed benefits to children with disabilities and challenges in providing universal healthcare to them.
What do you think? Policies like managed care are an example of the outermost layer in Bronfenbrenner’s model (see Module 3 e-book chapter titled: Human Exceptionality in Context) – and serve to remind us that social policies can have a direct effect on an individual child.
